Heroic realism

Its characteristics are realism and the depiction of figures as ideal types or symbols, often with explicit rejection of modernism in art (as "bourgeois" or "degenerate").

Lenin doubted that the illiterate population would understand what abstract visual images were intended to communicate.

This new movement rejected the "bourgeois influence on art" and replaced it with appreciation for figurative painting, photography and new typography layouts.

[7] When Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany in 1933, modern art was condemned as degenerate, and largely prohibited.

The Nazis promoted a style of art based on classical models, intended to nurture nationalism.

[10] Nazi theory explicitly rejected "materialism", and therefore, despite the realistic treatment of images, "realism" was a seldom used term.

A person who has done his duty too his utmost and has done it better than someone else higher or lower in the pecking order deserves greater admiration and esteem.
